HPISD board adopts SAVVAS for K–Algebra II, BFW for AP Statistics and Cengage for Precalculus
Summary
After committee review and community previews, Highland Park ISD approved new math textbooks: SAVVAS for K–Algebra II, BFW Publishers for AP Statistics, and Cengage for Precalculus.
The Highland Park ISD Board of Trustees approved a multi-publisher math-textbook adoption after a committee review that used a rubric aligned to the HPISD Mathematics Framework and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS).
Deputy Superintendent Dr. Shorr Heathcote told trustees that teacher and stakeholder panels evaluated alignment, assessment, platform access and community feedback; the committee and public previews significantly favored SAVVAS for kindergarten through Algebra II, while the committee recommended BFW Publishers for AP Statistics and Cengage for Precalculus. Vice President Bryce Benson moved approval, Secretary Ellen Lee seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The minutes note the district gathered both virtual and in-person community input during the selection process; specific implementation timelines for textbook rollout and teacher training were not detailed in the minutes.
